In After You Were, I Am, charged moments from history collide with our own godless modern world. Read by the author, the recording is divided into three sections - ingenious rewritings of canonical prayers, dramatic monologues from the Pendle witch trials of 1612, and the divine tragedy of the Elizabethan magus John Dee - obsess over individual human characters and how our past informs (and informs on) our present.

Sous le beau soleil de juin 1940, les Stukas allemands mitraillent les colonnes de civils en fuite. Pris au piège dans leur limousine hors d'usage, quatre amis, modèles de la jeunesse dorée parisienne, trouvent refuge dans une ferme. Une imprévisible et cocasse partie de campagne commence alors : pour ces oisifs, ces mondains, la rencontre brutale avec des paysans renverse toutes leurs certitudes.

El Cafè de la Granota són catorze contes plens de gràcia i tendresa, i de misèria i desgràcies, i és també el primer llibre que Moncada va dedicar íntegrament a recrear la Mequinensa perduda sota el pantà de Riba-roja. Esperonat encara per Calders, que no es cansava d’animar-lo —“continua produint ‘granotes’ d’aquesta categoria i ens faràs contents a tots”, li diu a les cartes que clouen aquest volum—, i amb una llengua afinada, rica, divertida i vivíssima, Moncada treu a la palestra un enfilall de personatges dispars, rics i pobres, mesquins i ingenus, saberuts i ignorants, per fer-los girar en un calidoscopi alhora cru i entendridor.

John Donne was born on the 22nd January 1572 in London, into a Roman Catholic family when Catholicism was illegal in England, and there was turbulence and unrest with both state and church throughout much of Europe. During the 1590s, Donne wrote a wide range of verses, including both erotic and sacred poems, creating two major volumes of work. His strong vivacious and sensual style fusing intellect and passion, as well as inventive use of subtle argument and syntax, provided a new radical perspective that reached beyond his contemporaries.

Un ballo in maschera, due misteriose figure in domino rosso, uno straniero insolente, qualche parola incomprensibile e allusiva: queste apparizioni gettano, una sera, "un’ombra di avventura, di libertà e di pericolo" nella vita di un medico e di sua moglie, giovani, belli e chiusi in un’ovattata felicità domestica. Da quel momento essi entrano, senza saperlo, in un intreccio speculare di peripezie notturne tanto inverosimili da sembrare oniriche e di sogni tanto invadenti da sembrare fatti reali.

Della terra in cui è nata le sono rimasti pochi ricordi, vaghi e confusi: la zia Aster che si sforza di farla mangiare, i suoi passi a testa bassa sulla strada per la scuola, i giochi con il cugino Abbush e i bambini del quartiere. Le è rimasto il nome, che in amarico significa “nostalgia” e sembra alludere a qualcosa di originario che le mancherà sempre. E il cognome, Abraham, preso da un padre che non conosce, ma che si trascina dietro come un’ombra, come la traccia di un passato divenuto ormai troppo distante. Perché Tezeta è italiana.

A journey through a city, told in poetic imagery. Watching life ebb too and fro, like the waves on a shore, you will see highs and lows, love and hope, loss and woe. But if you plant a seed it may one day grow.

Un legado invaluable que nos invita a seguir leyendo, escribiendo y soñando Frágil testimonio "del momento que pasa", "la poesía es la sombra de la memoria / pero será materia del olvido", palabras "que dicta en su fluir / el tiempo en vuelo". Los días no volverán, aunque cada día amanezca; la vida deja su estela remanente que no conduce a ningún lado, pues "a todas partes vamos a no volver. /Estamos por vez última / en dondequiera".

Niente canne, né spleen, né amori perduti nel crudo Nordest.Ci sono milioni di italiani a cui questo paese piace esattamente così comè. Sono piccoli imprenditori che hanno fatto fortuna prima della crisi, oggi alle prese con crediti in sofferenza e fatture difficili da scontare. Sono famiglie totalmente assorbite dallimpegno di mandare avanti il lavoro, lattività, abituate a giudicare severamente il conflitto e la divagazione. Persone che credono nel denaro e nella possibilità del successo per chiunque sia disposto a sacrificarsi.

Бахтин в своем исследовании наглядно показал, как Достоевский, отойдя от старой художественной формы, расширил возможности романного слова. Федор Михайлович использовал в своих произведениях совершенно новое литературное мышление, при котором слова героев стали звучать будто из разных, независимых друг от друга источников, создавая определенную полифонию текста. Исследование произвело настоящую революцию в культурологическом мире и не утратило актуальности и в наше время – оно дает читателям возможность лучше понять творчество и истинный смысл произведений великого русского писателя.
